It’s great to celebrate our accomplishments of the past....we have come a long way to get where we are today. Yet, a new revolution must be addressed, a revolution to reconquer our own minds. As you all know, now more than ever before in history, we are being bombarded with relentless streams of media produced by the wealthiest, most powerful sector of our population. The majority of this upper-upper-class of people identify themselves with similar beliefs about the world, and want to maintain the “status-quo” so that their beliefs will remain justified. These beliefs are subtly portrayed (or sometimes more obviously portrayed) in all mainstream news, TV, movies, commercials, magazines, video games, websites.....and in the words of the people we directly associate with. If we truly desire to be “free”, it is up to each and every one of us to decipher the biases behind every media message we consume…...or, to wisely choose which media messages we want to allow into our unconscious. Lets face it, the facts are undeniable. The media we consume affects our life actions and attitudes to a degree beyond what we ever imagined possible. So the choice remains for you to make; The freedom to think for yourself. The freedom to be happy. The freedom to construct your life they way YOU want to. Do you really want your freedoms? It is all up to you.

Hope that makes sense….or maybe it sounds too obvious to you already. Most certainly, I have over-simplified the matter. It is a complex issue and many other factors remain to be considered. Maybe you should take the time to understand the issue further? I would polish up my writing a bit more…but it is indeed Independence Day.
